RE:RE:yield vs total return Marner is correct to look at today's yield and not look backward. Money spent in the past is gone and no longer matters; what matters is what you still have today from what you bought yesterday and what you should do with it going forward.

Unless you sold out of your positions when the yield was at 8% and rebought now, your yield on the shars you own based on the price you paid should still be 8%.
I got a whack of ENB at $39.50 and although the share price has moved up decreasing the yield, my shares still get me the same yield that I was getting on day 1 (actually a little more since Enb bumped up the divy a tad in the last q)
Just saying mate...
